I was lucky enough to be sent this beautiful coat to review. It is called the Cardinal coat*, i was drawn to the salt and pepper colour, i have been after a coat like this for a while. The extra wide lapel and one button opening made it the perfect style for me. I got a size 22 and i would say it was true to size, i could have even sized down but i quite like the relaxed more masculine fit. The fabric is a wool blend which has a nice texture and really deep pockets, there is also some great stitching detail.  It is slightly longer on me than on the model, but i am shorter than the model. This is a lovely coat, i think it is light enough to be worn through autumn and the start of summer. I also really like that it can be worn open and still look good.
